Probably was. BoB can be confusing in that you get eBooks and audiobooks all in the same results listing. When you look at a listing you have to look carefully to see what it's actually referring to. I've made that same mistake myself.

Would be nice to be able to filter out the audiobooks. I'm not interested in them.

I'll take back some of what I've said........

"Wizards First Rule" ebook is published by Rosettabooks......not TOR.....although I can't find it on the Rosettabooks web-site

In an exclusive deal with Kindle, Terry Goodkind's first novel, Wizard's First Rule, was released this week as a RosettaBooks e-book, available for purchase on the Amazon device only. Goodkind, who is published by Tor, has held onto his digital rights up until now; Rule, first released in print in 1994, marks the first of Goodkind's titles to appear in e-book.

This is NOT good at all to have Kindle exclusivity.Seems someone goofed and released a Mobipocket format by mistake. I think it's time to bother RosettaBooks and let them know that Kindle exclusivity is not a good idea for sales. It will lose the sales of all the others who cannot read AZW due to not having a Kindle or being in the USA. We need to stop this and stop it now.

It's on the Kindle store front page as well.

JSWolf · 08-21-2008, 04:00 PM

So it is. But it says exclusive. If that's the case, how come BooksOnBoard are also selling it?

BoB links the demo excerpt to an inexisting Mobipocket.com's page.

Try 4shared.com....they have the first four books, then you have to buy the rest.
It is a free sharing website, I've downloaded books with no problems.

It is an awesome series, my younger cousin got me hooked.

Happy reading!

JSWolf · 07-31-2010, 11:06 PM

That is an illegal website.

JSWolf · 08-01-2010, 02:19 PM

I've reported the illegal website listed yesterday and now today. Is not some mod going to sort this out?

That website is a file-sharing service and is legal. Unfortunately, some copyrighted material is available there illegally. They encourage the reporting of ANY file that violates copyright law. They also state that they will remove the copyrighted file once it is reported.

Any link on MobileRead leading DIRECTLY to any copyrighted material will be IMMEDIATELY DELETED with further action (if necessay). MobileRead does NOT condone the infringement of copyrighted material.

Not sure if anyone still reads this thread but i have found about 8 of the SoT series on Barnes & Nobles site in eBook format though books 2,3,4 and 5 are not here yet for some reason. I also downloaded your first book Tracy as it sounds good.

AnemicOak · 06-02-2011, 04:52 PM

FYI, for anyone interested the first book is on sale at Amazon right now for $2.99 (in the US at least).

At that price, I'll give it a try. But it doesn't look like book #2 is available. And the price goes way up for #3 and later. But first to decide if I like it at all.
